Warnings; Major character death, kissing, and being beaten? I donāt know what to put here but there is mentions the reader being a servant and being punished as a result, I donāt really know how to say it but I have to put it in, theres lots of crying in this one and it is quite dark, also DONāT HATE ME FOR THIS, I THINK TONY IS ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTERS I JUST MADE HIM BAD FOR THIS STORY.
Summary; Royalty AU where Peter is a prince and the reader is his squire, and itās all cute and stuff ~lots of angst and fluff~
Rain poured down your face smudging the mud that stained your cheeks. Your old torn clothes had faded and were soaked to the bone as nine year old you shivered as you tried to find a warm place to stay the night. Mama and Papa were long gone by now and the streets of London in the 17th century was no place for a small child like yourself. Stumbling along the dirty streets as your little bare feet began to grow tired from walking for hours. You finally stopped when you could no longer keep walking; not having the energy from lack of food and walking for days. Your hands made it to a nice golden gate that was opened too a large castle and you noticed there was a man dressed nicely standing in front of you, falling unconscious a moment later and quickly being caught in the manās arms.
You woke up a few hours later sitting a nice large couch that was made of the finest fabrics, you looked up too see the man who caught you before, taking time to notice his appearance; he was a tall man with blonde hair and a solid build, he was wearing a butlerās outfit and was talking to another man around the same height. They were having a whispered conversation and seemed to be looking over at you every once and a while. Then you noticed a lady in a magnificent dress that was a deep red and had a matching hair piece, she was pacing around the living room frantically caught in her own thoughts, every once and a while stopping to stare at the fire that was lit on the golden and white fireplace.
āHelloā your attention was drawn to the little boy who was now sitting next to you, he had soft brown hair and big brown eyes to match, he was dressed in a casual suit and you could only guess he was royalty by the way he spoke and his attire. āHelloā you replied; when you spoke all conversations stopped and all eyes were on you. The lady you saw earlier came over to you and bent down, āGreetings little one, my name is May, Iām the Queen, and over there is the King, but you can call him Ben if youād like, and this is our niece Peter, heās been waiting till you wake up so he can play with you, he is rather lonely. Might I ask what your name is.ā You were quite startled by Mayās kindness towards you, looking over at the boy known as Peter he shot you a smile and waved his hands in the air. āMy name is (Y/N) your highnessā Mayās face lit up when she heard you speak āWell (Y/N), how about we get you cleaned up, and please no need for such formalities, May will do for now, now come along lets get you a bathā a bath sounded really nice too you; you could not remember the last time you had a decent wash. āSteven, could you run a bath for young (Y/N) here and then ask the chefās to cook some soup for the young boy.ā May asked the blonde man who you learned was called Steven āYes madam, right awayā Steve addressed her before bowing slightly and walking off. By this time Ben had left the room and Peter was sitting next to you, before he could say anything May spoke once again, āNow (Y/N), after youāre all good and well we can send a cart to bring you back home, may I ask where that is, or where your parents are?ā This bought tears to your eyes, you missed home, Mama and Papa had not come home in years and you wondered if youād ever see them again. āMama and Papa left a long time ago and I donāt know where they are, I donāt know where home is, I want to go home.ā You started to cry as you missed home, sure living conditions where hard but you missed it so much āaww donāt cry (Y/N), here can be your home now, we can be your family, right May?ā Peter said as he hugged you tight, not letting go even when he looked at May. May hesitated for a while before she finally spoke āWell the house is defiantly big enough for one moreā āYay! (Y/N) can sleep in my roomā Peter yelled and hugged you tighter you just laughed at how cheery Peter seemed āMadam, young (Y/N)ās bath is ready for himā Ā Steven said from the door awaiting more instructions
After a nice bath and some warm soup you were dragged to Peterās room where he cried for an hour so you could sleep together. When you were both lying in bed with a candle on the side of the bed and nice cotton bed wear on, Peter turned to you ā(Y/N) will you stay with me forever?ā Smiling down at him when he asked this; sure he was a little bratty and spoilt but you liked that about him and you could get used to being around him more āIf that is what you wish, then I shall stay with you foreverā Ā Peter smiled triumphantly and nuzzled closer to you, āCan you tell me a story?ā Ā āOf course Peter, Well once upon a time, there was a little boy a who lived with his family out on this big farm, it wasnāt a very nice farm but it was his farm, and it was home, and on this farm the boy would go and feed the animals and collect food from the town and all was very good until one day, where his Mama and Papa went out just to get food for dinner just like any other day, only they didnāt return. So the boy waited and waited until his Mama and Papa would come home, but they never came home. Soon looking after the farm was too hard and the boy had no where to go, so for years he spend his days in the city, looking for food and looking for another place to call home.ā āDid the little boy find his home again or his Mama and Papa?ā Peter asked, his voice just above a whisper. āWell I donāt know yet, heās still looking but he met another little boy who was very different to him, he showed him kindness no less, and soon they took a liking to each other and soon became friends but the story is not over yet, I just donāt know what happens in the end yet.ā āWell I like this story, maybe you can finish it one dayā Peter said drifting off too sleep in the process, before you too fell asleep.
For the next couple of years you and Peter grew very close, even when you got your own room you would still sneak into his room and tell him about the lost boy and his little friend Peter still having no idea that you were talking about you and him. However one night May and Ben who were like parents to you, got into an accident and sadly didnāt make it. Both you and Peter were devastated but there was little time for grief as one of Peterās relatives Tony Stark came to live in the castle while Peter was still to young to take the throne. Tony was a much harder ruler than May and Ben, he did not take a liking to you at all and insisted that you leave the castle at once, Peter wouldnāt stand to loose his best friend and Ā used his power of authority to demand you stay, however this came at a cost of you becoming his squire and working for him instead of living as his equal. Peter though didnāt really see this and was just happy that you could stay with him.
You came into Peterās room nice and early just like always and drew the curtains back āWake up sleepy head, you have breakfast in an hourā Peter groaned and rolled over so he was facing away from the light āItās too early, I donāt want to get up.ā Ignoring his complaints you walked over to his wardrobe and pulled out a blue shirt, red tie, black waist coat and some black pants. You laid them out on the other side of his bed and pulled the covers off him āItās so cold, ugh give me the blanket back.ā laughing at this you replied āWell get dressed and you wonāt be cold will you? Now common.ā You pulled him up by his shoulders and sat him upright as he sat on the bed. You grabbed the shirt and began to put his arms through it, dressing him while he yawned and woke up properly, you slid his pants on and began to button up his shirt, before putting on his waist coat and tying his tie and putting on his shoes. You ran your fingers through his hair and gave it a little ruffle āThere you go Prince, you look dashing as ever.ā Peter blushed at this, sure the both of you were nineteen now but you still called him by āPrinceā when it was just you too and the both of you never questioned it, it was just something you guys did. You continued to get Peter ready for the day and telling him his schedule, like you always do, before you walked him down to the dinning room, seeing Tony siting reading letters and Steve behind him, you took the same stance when Peter sat down. When one of the maids; Mary Jane, brought Peterās breakfast out you walked over and placed it in front of him; telling him the dish and addressing him correctly. āAll the servants are dismissed, I need to talk to Peter alone.ā Tony stated, you and all the other servants bowed and left quickly through the side door, as you were leaving you heard Tony say āNow, I know that you are becoming of age and will take the thrown any day nowā¦ā You couldnāt make out the rest of the conversation but you quickly moved on as you had chores to do.
You spent the morning, cleaning Peterās room, changing his sheets and all of that. When noon rolled around you still hadn't seen Peter and you figured that Tony and him must be discussing important matters. You made your way to the front of the castle where two riders approached through the front gate, you knew the two as Wade and Bucky, they were some of your closer friends along with Steve, all of you served the crown and worked together. You all shared living quarters so I guess you had to sort of become friends, Wade and Bucky were Knights who protected the castle and itās boarders. When they approached you you took their horses and Steve took their armour, and you all shared small talk promising to talk more about things at dinner but you all had more work to attend to.
After Lunch had passed and you had ran your errands around town you went to the servants quarters where you grabbed some food which was your breakfast and took a bath. While you were sitting in the tub you winced from you back hitting the side of the bath, you remember not too long ago when you had said goodnight to Peter from after sneaking in his room just like every night and getting caught by Tony, the memory was still fresh in your mind and the wounds on your back were certainly a tough punishment for being caught out after hours, but itās a risk you had been taking for years now and it was a risk you were willing to take; for Peter, he didnāt know, he canāt know, you couldnāt put him through that, he was too good for this world. Over the time you two had known each other youād grown to love him, more than a loyal servant and more than a dear friend, but you could never be with him and you knew that so everyday you made it your job to keep him safe and happy.
Once you finished your bath and cleaned up, you returned to Peterās room where you began hanging his clean clothes for tomorrow and getting his room ready to be slept in Peter suddenly came running into the room with tears all over his face and he was hyperventilating. ā (Y/N), (Y/N) help me T-Tony is horrible I canāt b-believe heād d-do this t-too me!ā Peter yelled as he ran to your arms and held on for dear life, burrowing his head into your chest as he cried more. You were startled by his entry but soon held the smaller boy just as tight trying to calm him āShh Prince, itās okay Iām here, just breatheā Peterās sobs grew to soft whimpers as he cried harder, you lifted his chin so he was looking at you and you wiped his tears, before you sat him down on his bed and sat beside him, pulling him so he was looking at the floor and his face was buried in your neck āTalk to me, what did he say?ā āH-h-he s-saidā¦ā āshh itās okay, take your time.ā Peter took a moment to recollect himself , taking a deep breath before starting again āHe said I have t-to m-marry so t-that I can h-have a child later and k-keep the t-thrown safe.ā This made your heart shatter, you always knew this day would come, but you didnāt want to believe it. āOh Prince, Iām so sorry, I mean itās not too bad right?ā āBut I donāt love this person I must marryā sighing you knew there was nothing you could do but comfort Peter āYou can grow to love them, sometimes love works like thatā Peter broke down and cried more when he heard this, he didnāt want to marry some other royal lady, his heart had already fallen for someone; and he figured he might not get much longer to tell them so here goes nothing. āIf that is how love works then I donāt want to love, (Y/N) why does love hurt so much, I love someone else but I canāt be with them, Itās not fair, Itās not fair!ā Peter had stood up at this point and seemed rather angry he kept repeating āItās not fairā over and over before he broke down and landed in your arms again. You felt so bad when Peter said this, you wished Peter never had to go through this āIām sorry Prince, I know what its like to love another you canāt haveā¦ Itāll be okay, just try not to let it get to you, think of it in a better way. This lady Iām sure will come from a good background and be wealthy, whoās educated and wears the finest jewels.ā Peter let a few silent tears slip down his cheeks as the words sunk in āBut I donāt want a girl with jewels, or who is wealthy. I want the boy who wakes me up in the mornings and who tells me stories every night and who is there for me always and who hugs me when Iām sad and who looks after me.ā
You were shocked, you couldnāt move. You stared down at Peter with wide eyes as he looked up at you āYou meanā¦ā Peter nodded as he sat up properly and leaned in to kiss you on the lips, it was soft and sweet, you shifted a little so you were facing him and cupped his cheek, leading the kiss both of you slowly adding more passion and getting more comfortable with what was happening. Peter started to slowly lean backwards as you lay him down so you were on top of him. The two of you kissed a for a little longer each slowly and full of passion as both of you had needed this for a long time. When you pulled away you rested your forehead on Peterās and just took in the moment āI love you (Y/N)ā Peter whispered as if he dare say it any louder someone could hear āI love you too Prince.ā You whispered back, both of you smiling. You sat up after a few moments later when you remembered your job āCommon letās get you to dinnerā Peter just sadly nodded as the two of you got up, as you made your way to the door behind Peter, he stopped just before exiting and turned around, throwing him arms around your neck and kissing you deeply. You threw your arms around his waist and both of you shared a kiss as if it was your last one.
After dinner you walked Peter back to his room where you gathered his night clothes and began to undress him, when he was down to his underwear you threw on his cotton white sleeping shirt and grabbed his day clothes to put into the washing basket by the door, when you returned Peter was getting into bed and you tucked him in the last little bit of the way, before siting down next to him āWhat happened to the boy and his friend today?ā Peter asked, you smiled at his innocents as both of you enjoyed this part of the day it was more about spending time together than the actual story āWell today the boyās friend was very scared and the boy was there for him and they both realised that they love each other very much and even though they canāt really be together theyād some how make it work, so they lived happily ever after and thereās no more to the story, thatās the end.ā Peterās eyes opened when you said this and sat up so he was inches from your face, he looked at you with his perfect brown eyes āDoes the little boy happen to be called (Y/N) and his friend Prince?ā Peter asked and you just simply smiled and leaned forward to kiss him sweet and tenderly on the lips āI love you Peter, so much and everyday Iāve told you it, you just never saw it.ā Peter let a tear leave the corner of his eye as he wrapped his arms around him, āI love you too (Y/N), can you spend the night in here? Just one night?ā Peter asked crying more āOh Prince, of course Iāll stay.ā You sat up and took your shirt and shoes off and climbed under the blankets with Peter. However when you lay down on your back you winced from the lash marks on your back and completely forgot about it before hand āAre you okay?ā Peter asked sitting up again when he saw you in pain āYeah Iām okay Prince itās nothing just lie downā¦ā Peter was not buying it got you to sit up and made you turn so your back was to him, you heard him gasp rather loudly and you felt his fingers lightly run over your back. You turned around to see him sobbing in front of you āHey donāt cry Prince, please donāt cry, Iām okayā You reached forward to pull Peter to your arms, āWho hurt you, please tell me, I donāt want you to be hurt (Y/N), I love you.ā You sighed, you couldnāt lie to Peter āSometimes when I leave here after youāve fallen asleep, Tony is still awake and sees me walk back to my quarters and itās a punishment all of us would get if weāre caught after hoursā Peter felt guilt hit him like a train when he heard you say this āIām sorry, Iām so sorry, itās all my fault-ā You shushed him by kissing him and you too shared a little tear as you in no way wanted him to blame himself for any of this āItās not your fault at all Peter, itās no ones, all we want to do is be together in a world where we canāt be, Iām willing to take any risk or consequence so I can be with you okay? So please donāt blame yourself.ā Peter nodded and you pulled him into another kiss, it was a very desperate kiss on both ends and you it was full of reassurance, breaking apart for air, Peter asked āWhatās going to happen when I have to marry?ā āI donāt know Prince, weāll figure this out one step at a time, letās just sleep for nowā That night you and Peter slept together for the first time since before May and Ben passed.
For the next two weeks you and Peter had spent as much time as you could together; sharing quick kisses in the halls and spending some nights together when you could. You kept everything secret and kept everything low and normal when in pubic. However tonight was the night of the ball that tony had hosted so Peter could meet someone deemed fit to be his wife. You and Peter were currently in his room getting him ready for the occasion as you fixed his tie one last time āDonāt stress about tonight all you have to do is dance with a few people and act like a prince and I know you are one so youāll do fine, besides Iāll be with you every step of the way so if itās too much come and find me or Steve and heāll take you to me okay?ā Peter nodded to worked up to speak as he leaned in to hug you for the last time in a while, you kissed him quickly and ruffled his hair like you always do before walking out and into the carriage. When you arrived, there was already a number of people outside and walking in. You let go of Peterās hand you had been holding the whole way and got out, running around the back of the carriage and opened Peterās door letting him step out. You gave him a reassuring nod before following him up the stairs where as you arrived to the top you stood to the side of Peter and waited for everyone to stop talking before speaking āLadies and Gentlemen I present to you Prince Peter Benjamin Parker of Londonā Peter made his way into the hall where he greeted each guest individually and exchanging greetings.
After a few hours of small talk Peter had to choose a Lady to dance with, from direct orders from Tony. Peter soon walked over to a girl he met before; her name was Elizabeth but went by Liz to most. When Peter offered her to dance she gladly accepted and the two went into the middle. Everyone was looking at Lizās beautiful emerald green gown, her black hair was smooth and shining from the chandelier light. As they danced Peterās hands grew sweaty and he began looking in the crowd for you āYouāre nervous aren't you?ā Liz asked and Peter immediately went red and looked at the ground as if he was ashamed, Liz smiled āThereās no need to be, I wonāt hurt you.ā Peter was still tense throughout the entire dance and nearly slipped a few times in the process. When the dance ended Liz spoke up and asked āWill you take a walk with me through the gardens?ā Peter looked over to you where you smiled sympathetically trying your best to encourage Peter, before he looked over to see Tony glaring at him, āU-uh sure Iād love too.ā Peter said as his nerves got worse, as Peter was walking with Liz she spoke again, āYouāre in love with that squire of yours arenāt you?ā She asked which took Peter by such surprise he stopped walking, āH-how did you k-know.ā She chuckled at this, āI can see the way you too look at each other, I know that look, I too know that look.ā Peterās jaw had dropped at this point not knowing what to say, but luckily Liz continued āWe canāt be together because my father wants me to marry so we can be wealthier but we have managed to keep it a secret for nowā Peter suddenly got a strike of confidence when he could relate to Liz āWell, maybe we can make this work, you know? We make it look like weāre together in public, but in the castle we can have our own lives and be happyā¦ā Liz smiled at this, finally she could get her happily ever after and so could Peter āSounds like a plan, how about we go tell the King and then we can just all go home to our loved ones?ā Peter chuckled and genuinely liked Liz, as a friend, the two could make it work and fake their relationship for the time being, but he was most excited to be able to spend the rest of his life with you, even if itās not the way youād both like, but it was something.
That night when you and Peter arrived home, after Peter had told you about the plan with Liz you and him spent the night sharing kisses and talking about a future together and then slept soundly till dawn where Peter requested breakfast be brought to his room, and the two of you spent all day together. āI love you Prince, more than anyone in the worldā āI love you too (Y/N)ā
